Jougyouji Temple
横浜市金沢区六浦２丁目２−１２
A Nichiren sect temple located in Rokku, Kanazawa Ward, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, with the mountain name Rokkuzan. It is known as the sacred site of the 'Shipboard Debate,' where Nichiren persuaded the samurai Togi Tsuneshin while aboard a ship.
History
In the early Nanbokucho period, Rokku Myoho, a local chieftain of Rokku, donated his residence to Nichiu, who established the temple as the founder of Jougyouji. It is called the 'Shipboard Debate Sacred Site' because Nichiren persuaded Togi Tsuneshin upon arriving at the Rokku wharf. Until it collapsed during the Great Kanto Earthquake, it maintained the status of an ancient temple of the Nichiren sect's Nakayama Monryu school and thrived due to popular devotion to Nichi, the guardian deity of legs and knees.
